This question has come up on the forums a few times, as its a nasty one. Unfortunately, there is
no "Am I connected to the wide world" function, as Windows simply does not know the answer.

About all it can do is tell you whether you have a local connection.

Previous answers to the question combine GetInternetConnectedEx function, with trying to access
popular sites like www.microsoft.com, google, etc.

Sorry the news isn't better!

To add to the former message, its like asking "Is my phone connectable to other people?".

You can tell if there is a dial tone (GetInternetConnected), but the only way to know if
you can ring people, is to actually ring them!

Hi, you could make a worker thread whose creating a connection to a server (e.g. www.yahoo.com) on a specified interval of time. That's the safer way! Good luck and good coding!

VC++ 6.0 and VC++ 7.0

What does it take to shift one's codebase from VC++ 6.0 to VC++ 7.0? (Unmanaged). Any good reasons that I can give my boss to make him shift to VC++ 7.0? :-> I just love the .NET UI and hate the old VC++ 6.0 UI but that reason is just not enough. I need some more solid reason. I read somewhere that Microsoft is removing its support for VC++ 6.0. What does that mean? Will office COM addins written in VC++ 7.0 still work with Office 2000??? Confused | :confused:

HELP!!!

Standard compliance is definitely a more obvious reason...

VC6 compiler is full of crap. but VC2005 is more sticking to the standard than 2003 though (if you could choose between one or other).

thell him that it is important to stick to the C++ standard, so he'd better switch to VS2005, or at least VS2003.

what didn't you understand in my answer ?

oh, BTW, VC6 support has been abandonned by Microsoft last year...

What exactly does remove support mean? Does it mean that any problems with the compiler will not be dealt with or that any product written in VC++ 6.0 will not be recognized by microsoft?

Thanks for your answers Smile | :)

remove support mean that if you have a problem with VC6 and want to ask microsoft for that problem, they won't answer you...

Hi, you should consider moving to VC++ 7.X/8.0 because those are more compatible with the futures offered by Windows 2000/XP. Personaly, I like the themes from Windows XP and I'm wroting only theme-enabled WIN32 applications. Other reasons would be a better IDE and a better/faster C++ compiler etc.

HakunaMatada24-Mar-06 1:10

24-Mar-06 1:10

So you mean, code will compile faster in VC++ 7.0 than in VC++ 6.0? Is the VC++ 7.0 compiler better than the VC++ 6.0 compiler?

Thanks for your help! Smile | :)

Thanks!

But even after all these answers, I still haven't got any solid answer to give my boss when he asks me why we should move to VC++ 7.0 or higher...

Thanks anyways... Smile | :)

Hi all,
I hv designed a page in html.and Iam working in MFC
Iam using CDHTMLViewSpec class.
I have designed 2 links in thml as follows

<table width="100%">
<tr width="100%">
<td width = "100%"><font size="2" face="Tahoma">
<a id="Previous" class="Title" href="Previous.htm">Previous</a></font>
</td>

<td ><font size="2" face="Tahoma">
<a id="Next" href="Next.htm">Next</a></font></td>
</tr>
</table>

as u can see they are anchor tags I want to know how to enable or disable them at a perticular event. (Say when there is nothing in a list to show when user clicks Previous or Next).
Thank u all.

Hi,

The can we change the position of the tooltip that is shown for long text in the treectrl?
Currently the tooltip is clipped by the screen limits. Can we move the tooltip to left in this case?

Thank you.

I re-compiled one of my applications under VS .NET 2005 (with no code changes) and the .exe is now twice the size....

What have Microsoft done ? or do I need to turn off some setting that is new, like a "make large .exe to waste disk space" setting ?

Any idea's ?

Darka

Hi V2.0,

Release - exactly the same build in both versions of the compiler, .NET 2005 is always larger (in the 3-4 projects I have tried).

Hi, make sure that you use MFC as a static link-edited library
and please check your optimization settings of your project.
